Graspable Math: Exploring Math Games

From Here to There is an interactive touch-based application that allows students to dynamically interact with numbers and expressions. Rather than solving a problem by hand and typing in the answer, students can transform expressions or equations by dragging or breaking apart the number. These activities provide access to the rewarding and playful challenges of algebra and equation solving.

Study of Algebra Skills

We have some algebra problems for 7th to 12th graders to solve! In this one-hour study, students will solve some algebra problems, find errors in worked examples, and judge whether two expressions are mathematically equivalent. Through this research, we hope to learn how to better design algebra problems to support student learning. Thank you so much for supporting our research!
